I switched from windows to Gnome because my hardware is aging and I was hoping linux would have less overhead. I tend to play cheaper games on steam and I notice that my CPU usage is pegged the whole time the games are running.

I didnt have any issues on windows for any of the games I play, medium graphics on any game would run fine. Lately Ive been into games like Schedule 1, Peak and RV there yet. Ive found these games are not running smoothly on linux.

I have not tried any other games yet since I just installed over the weekend, I will continue to try other games to see if it is an optimization issue. Right now I suspect it is just that these games are less optimized for linux.

System info: 1070 gpu, I5-4690k, 16GB DDR3

I am a linux noob so please let me know if there is any info I can provide about my system or my install. I can get that once I am home from work.

Thanks

Game developers should take a look at the brand new Godot Engine 4.6 release, bringing a big refresh to the popular cross-platform open source game engine.

I play World of Warships and after every update I have to switch to Windows just to install the modpack and switch back to CachyOS. I would like to know how to install Aslains modpack using CachyOS or If anyone can point me to the right direction. I've already googled it but can't seem to find anything

Hello i've been having problems with brightness ever since i installed it and i still cant fix it

The problem is its pretty dark even at max brightness way darker than on windows,

its very noticeable in games or youtube and even reddit the dark is way darker than usual.

The things i've read i think point me to that hdr is enabled even though my monitor doesn't support hdr.But some command im tried to try and still no definitive answer

Can anyone help me please.

Sometimes, trying to start a game with GE-Proton 26 I get the fault code:

Failed to initialize graphics. Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed, have up to date drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled 3D acceleration in display settings. InitializeEngineGraphics failed.

Reseting shaders' cache, deleting prefix, changing Proton version, disabling ESYNC/FSYNC verifying game's files, fixing game's drive from 'Storage' on steam settings, logout and ten login nothing fixes the problem.

vkcude works

vulkaninfo output can be found here.

A complete reboot or adding PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 works, so it seems it is the vulkan subsystem. How do I fix it or reset it?

So. A little bit of context, I have a GTX 1050ti (Pascal), and I'm freshly swapping from Windows, went with Nobara. I made sure to get the standard iso version, because as of now, the latest Nvidia pre configured iso wouldn't work on my card. It would include past the 580 branch which only supports Turing architecture.

So when I got in, I went to install drivers for my GPU via the KDE Driver Manager app. I clicked installed on the last available closed production driver for my card that it detected, and the install of those was going great till the end of the command log when it just said "Rpm transaction failed" and still gave the option to reboot, or just click ok. I rebooted. When it rebooted, drivers didn't install as I knew. Still on Nouveau. I tried again, still, same exact rpm thing happened, and drivers do not work upon reboot, still Nouveau.

I then tried the Nobara CLI driver install command (to install the same last supported closed production driver) from within the terminal, that worked. It installed everything, built the Kernel modules and initiated the user level part, and at the end, says drivers successfully installed and that a reboot is highly recommended, I rebooted, and still went right into nouveau drivers and not the Nvidia drivers that quite literally just successfully installed.

If anyone knows what's happening and can help, that'd be appreciated.

New and better products is something to be expected from big corporations with that many shareholders. However, while in the past especially linux gamers were excited about new compatible AMD GPUs the excitement holds its horses this time.

There seems to be a fatigue from unfulfilled promises, mediocre feature implementations, incremental improvements only instead of real innovations and overpriced results. Unlike the past, new GPU features like FSR4 are exclusively locked to later GPUs only now.

Many people still have their old hardware sitting out all the crisis of the last years and wait for better times. But with only three major vendors ruling the pc gaming market still, a solution seems to be very unlikely.

For the first time ever in the whole history game consoles got not cheaper but even more expensive. Microsoft who, just like Sony, are business customers of AMD announced some kind of a luxury uber-gaming console which sounds like even more costs. The current ones can not simply be explained by inflation. The chips for the gaming consoles are still based on older die nodes which actually become cheaper the moment a new node shrink gets developed.

Another critical factor in this regard are increased reports about modern dying Chips especially heat-prone x86 CPUs. The big and overseen issue with smaller node shrinks below 10nm is that finer circuits on the die space increase electromigration, power density and gate damages. Chip engineers have to fight with all sorts of side effects these days just to stabilize basic processing functions. The documentation for building modern DDR5 RAM alone comprises several thousands. DDR5 requires specific control components, most notably a Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) on every memory module to manage voltage directly. Additionally, DDR5 relies on a Registering Clock Driver (RCD) chip for server-class modules (RDIMM) to manage high-speed data flow and signal stability

Another big challenge with small node sizes is quantum tunneling where electrons leave the paths on the circuit or even diffuse through gates or jump to circuits next to them due to the extremely thin paths and the transistor density. Especially to older generations among us pc gamers these new phenomena are quite astonishing because a chip used to be the most solid part in a pc and held up for decades. The capacitors on a mainboard can age very quickly but the CPUs based on older node sizes simply run and run and run.

What do you think? Are you also sitting out as long as can on your hardware and wait for better times. Or would you consider to move to another architecture based on an older node maybe even something completely different than an x86 CPU? Would you consider keeping your GPU and pairing it up with an Arm or RISC-V chip if compatible and fast enough of course? And would you like your new CPU to be backwards compatible to older DDR RAM chips in case of a new crisis. Or do you think that x86 is the future no matter what and the best solution for Gamers?

Stumbled upon this on Facebook and wanted to share it. 2D Metroidvania with a WW2 aesthetic, coming to all systems and has native Linux support! I have a crappy non gaming laptop that I’ve put Linux Mint on and have slowly turned into a MOSTLY offline little game/emulation machine, can’t run most modern titles, but I know it’ll run this!

I don't know but suddenly out of nowhere steam doesn't work when i don't have internet. It just loops like this. I can use bottles but for steam games, i need steam. I am currently using arch (btw) and this is the log. Also, i have changed the .local/share/Steam/config/loginusers.vdf to make "WantsOfflineMode" to 1 and it doesn't change anything

i have this 6 fans, 3 sl120 and 3 tls12, my motherboard doesnt have the 5v conector so i buyed a nollie controller that goes by a usb conector, i couldnt recognise the controller on linux at all with open rgb and on windows the last sl120 goes leds off on signalrgb, the lian li ones goes on the proprietary controler and then on the nollie one, since they have a diferent conection, someone can help me with it? im really lost on this

I've been wondering, are there really a lot of nvidia users on linux? The reason?
Recently, ( about 4 with something years ago ) found a distro - Chimera Linux, uses musl libc with mimalloc instead of glibc, freebsd utils instead of util linux, dinit instead of systemd and etc. The problem is that it works faster on my laptop ( and it is not really bad, ryzen 5800u ), than cachy os. But people with nvidia gpus can't enjoy this smoothness and performance, because their gpu drivers depend heavily on glibc.

So, are you an nvidia user?

If yes, then how is your expirience on linux so far?
